Alma Meaning

This name became popular after the Battle of Alma (1854), which took place near the River Alma in Crimea and ended in a victory for Britain and France. However, the name was in rare use before the battle; it was probably inspired by Latin almus "nourishing". It also coincides with the Spanish word meaning "the soul". Alma originates in Latin language and means "caring, fostering". It became popular after the Battle of Alma in 1854, the first battle of the Crimean War. Alma was the name of several goddesses and it also appears in The Book of Mormon, as a masculine name though. It is the name of numerous places throughout the United States, as well as other places around the world. In Spanish, Alma means "soul".
